The students [of the 60's] substituted conspicuous compassion for their parents' conspicuous consumption.

Was it my conspicuousness that distressed me? Not at all. It was merely that I was not beautifully conspicuous but uglily conspicuous - it makes all the difference in the world.

Mark Twain

Everyone acquainted with the subject will recognize it as a conspicuous failure.

Henry Morton Stanley

I'm much more conspicuous having long hair than I will be with it short.

Bess Truman

The smaller the number and the more permanent and conspicuous the station of men in power, the stronger must be the interest which they will individually feel in whatever concerns the government.

James Madison

The gap between ideals and actualities, between dreams and achievements, the gap that can spur strong men to increased exertions, but can break the spirit of others -- this gap is the most conspicuous, continuous land mark in American history. It is conspicuous and continuous not because Americans achieve little, but because they dream grandly. The gap is a standing reproach to Americans; but it marks them off as a special and singularly admirable community among the world's peoples.

George Will

I don't know when the cult of conspicuous busyness began, but it has swept up almost all the upwardly mobile, professional women I know.

James Buchan

I do not believe that the solution to our problem is simply to elect the right people. The important thing is to establish a political climate of opinion which will make it politically profitable for the wrong people to do the right thing. Unless it is politically profitable for the wrong people to do the right thing, the right people will not do the right thing either, or it they try, they will shortly be out of office.

Milton Friedman

Conspicuous by his absence.

Tacitus

The Catholic religion doesn't have conspicuous symbols.

Marine Le Pen

Wealth is conspicuous, but poverty hides.

James Reston

Be patient when it seems things are not going right and may never be right again. Accept that what is yours will come to you in the right way at just the right moment.
